I stopped by Manhattan Creamery with a group of six and almost ordered, but decided to check out Salt & Straw down the street because of all the hype. Big mistake....I wish I had stayed here. Sometimes you just want classic flavors done right, and that's exactly what they offer (no over-the-top combinations, just really good ice cream). The ambience is clean, there was a bit of a line but it moves quickly, and they have lots of flavors to choose from. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and they happily let us sample before deciding. The Cookie Monster flavor was unforgettable. Definitely coming back next time. read more

Manhattan Beach Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Manhattan Beach Creamery has been a beloved institution in Manhattan Beach for as long as I can remember. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by beautiful, mouth-watering displays that make choosing just one treat nearly impossible. Each day, they offer 28 small-batch, hand-crafted ice cream flavors made with top-quality ingredients. You can even grab pints from the freezer section to enjoy at home. Some of my personal favorites include Maple Bacon Crunch, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Bananas Foster -- along with 25 other delicious options! You can top any flavor with Oreos, sprinkles, or fresh fruit, or go all out with a sundae or a classic Banana Split for an extra special treat. The famous Cream'wich ice cream sandwich was invented here, and you can customize it with your choice of ice cream sandwiched between two cookies. But on this visit, I came for the frozen banana. The chocolate coating is so thick and rich that it takes several satisfying bites to reach the sweet, creamy banana inside. We also love the candy apples, displayed in colorful rows that are just as delightful to look at as they are to eat. If you're in the area, treat yourself and stop by Manhattan Beach Creamery! read more

They have the biggest assortment of desserts. From ice cream to Carmel apples and everything in between. I love the aesthetic in here, so colorful and happy. They are fast even with the notoriously long line. We got the oatmeal cookie bananas foster ice cream sandwich. It was 10/10 I absolutely loved it. I am a big banana fan and oatmeal cookie was a good pairing! read more

Such a yummy ice cream spot in Manhattan Beach. Got a triple scoop, but asked for it in a cup and for a chocolate dipped cone on the side. My highlight was the Super Sonic flavor, which was a sprinkles flavor, so yummy. The sticky bun flavor was good as well. Next time I'll try for a cookie sandwich. read more

Came here after a 4 mile walk on the beach before driving home. Lots of different choices of ice creams and yogurts and much, much more. I got a single cup with two flavored and both were good. My wife got a small yogurt cup that she enjoyed fully. My wife lives to taste different flavors and Onyx M, the yogurt lady giving samples and yogurt, was very open to giving her a few samples before my wife decided which she wanted, which is great. This place is on Manhattan Ave just a couple blocks from the pier. We will come back for sure! read more

Has a special place in my heart b/c of all the memories with my husband, back to our very first date being here. We always get hot chocolate and walk down the beach. Very nostalgic, cute, and cozy vibes. Good services, very friendly. Love coming here when there's time. read more

Living so far from home, I don't get the opportunity to spend the time I want with my younger sibling. So why not beach and ice cream our first sister date in a year. My sister is autistic, I've been trying to teach her maneuvering through life without me or our parents. Especially with me having cancer and not sure what my life looks like in the coming years. I enjoyed how patient the staff was with my little sister even with the growing line behind us. They allowed her to decide on her flavor, and even count her change at the cash register. Her match and my banana sandwich!!!! Jesus Lord delicious read more

I come here for one thing only, their dipped chocolate banana. 10/10! There is a real scarcity when it comes to chocolate dipped banana availability anywhere. So Manhattan Beach Creamery has been my literal lifeline to them for years. Best part they have dark and milk chocolate options! They also have sprinkles and chopped almonds along with plain dark chocolate and milk chocolate. The chopped almonds and sprinkles do come in milk chocolate only I believe. Its about 10$ now I think. I literally do not mind the price because they are that good and have a generous coating of chocolate. You could easily share it with a friend because it so filling and massive. 4 stars just because I hardly try their ice cream so I'm unfamiliar with their work but chocolate banana is the best,I've introduce everyone to these. It's amazing! read more

When you walk in, you don't feel like you're in Manahattan Beach! There is a lot going on in the shop and ambiance. But in terms of dessert options- it has everything. The employees were nice and helpful. I even asked for them to cut one of the cookie sandwiches in half for me! read more

A cute dessert shop in Manhattan Beach with a large variety of dessert options. They sell candy, brownies, cookies, ice cream, and many other dessert items. It's like a dessert paradise! We came here for ice cream after dinner at a restaurant nearby. The ice cream here is delicious! We got 2 scoops of ice cream with a waffle cone--one lavender and one toasted coconut. The ice cream was perfectly sweet and creamy. The lavender had a nice floral flavor. The toasted coconut had a nice coconut flavor, and the toasted flakes added great texture and crunch. The flavors tasted quite natural and not artificial at all. I also got to try their brownie which was soft and not overly sweet. The portions that they gave for each scoop of ice cream were quite large too! I shared with my mom and we almost couldn't finish it all! The workers here are also really sweet, and I was able to sample many flavors. Overall, great quality ice cream and this will now be my go to ice cream/dessert spot whenever I stop by Manhattan Beach. read more

This place was so fun! It was such a great ice cream shop for all ages and tastebuds. The chocolate chip cookie sandwiches dipped in chocolate were an absolute must. Oh and you just can't go wrong with a single scoop of ice cream too! So so many different desserts to enjoy along the pier and take for the ride home. I highly recommend bringing all the kiddos and sampling some delicious ice cream flavors. read more

Food 4.5/5 Service 4.5/5 Value 4.5/5 Perfect for a sunny day on the beach or walk on the Strand. The staff let us try quite a few flavors of ice cream before we decided on our final choices of lavender and pistachio. Both flavors were amazing. I typically already love lavender and it definitely didn't disappoint,;would strongly recommend! This place is a sweettooth dream! They have ice cream, sundaes, cookies, and all sort of sweets that you can dream of. Really cute local spot that is fun to walk into and feel like you walked into a candyland read more

Manhattan Beach Creamery - Melted Lavender and PIstachio Ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Simply a wonderful ice cream and candy store with old school charm. With different types of frozen bananas, cookies, and, of course, house-made flavored ice cream, this is a bit of a paradise. Personalized ice cream sandwiches also adorn the menu, or a nice ice cream shake. For the seasoned, there are also hand-packed cartons available. Their ice cream is something special. There are seasonal flavors and your old school favorites. The cartons change often, so multiple visits are warranted. For an ice cream lover, I would have to say there is a good balance of overrun and fat content. The structure has a good, solid mouth feel without too much compactness. I especially like how their chocolate flavors give a sense of cocoa and not just commercial sugary chocolate. Seasonal flavors also fall in line with the same attention to detail. Stay away from corporate-run chains and give your love for a cold treat to folks who have a passion for it. read more

This place is awesome! If you're in town and looking for a sweet treat, look no further. Manhattan Beach Creamery is the spot to visit! We came here for the ice cream and had no idea everything they offered. Ice cream, cookies, ice cream sandwiches, and way more frozen sweet treats. Plus, the inside is decked out and looks awesome. It's a vibe inside! We tried multiple of their flavors and a few different of their ice cream cookie sandwiches too. Everything was delicious! The ice cream is so good. They have a huge selection and something for everyone! The staff is very helpful and patient. We had a big group, and they took their time with all of us, including samples of many of their flavors. Highly recommend stopping in and strolling the boardwalk or beach. It's absolutely worth it! read more

Always a great stop after a meal and to stroll on the pier. The flavors are creative and the service friendly. You

Manhattan Beach Creamery is in the perfect location for enjoying a bit of dessert after a delicious meal somewhere in the area, while walking to the pier or along the shops. The ice cream is delicious! And they have plenty of other desserts too beyond the typical cone or cup. Service is prompt and friendly, and they keep the lines moving right along. There are many cool things to look at and maybe buy if you wish. Great ambiance for ice cream parlor! read more

Such a staple when coming down to Manhattan Beach. They have such a large selection of treats and desserts that look divine. Their selection of ice cream flavors is unique and you can tell the ice cream is well made and good quality. They were pretty busy today which makes parking difficult. Prices are pretty high for ice cream but its worth it once in a while. read more

The Creamery has been posted on the corner of Manhattan Beach Blvd and Manhattan Ave holding the city down for 20+ years. It gave the city life, it ain't about who did it first it's about who did it right..... It's a versatile, willing to do whatever you ask it to candy store that is a time capsule of the late 90s, as opposed to a soulless ice cream shop (looking at you, Salt N Straw.) Their options range from candy apples to bananas foster to macaroons to niche 90s candies you forgot existed to traditional hand made small batch ice cream scoops. You want it, they got it. For example, I walked in here yesterday and bought a pack of Big League Chew. When was the last time you saw, heard, or thought about Big League Chew? It's still so elite too I'm gonna order a box. I paired the Big League Chew with a custom creamwich, in which I got a monstrous scoop of cookies and cream ice cream JAMMED between 2 sugar cookies. So many memories in here too. We used to come here after a long day at the beach with a big group, and pay for you and your crushes ice cream with the crispy $20 bill your parents gave you thinking you were a BOSS. If the creamery ever ends up getting shadow realm'd, a piece of the soul of Manhattan Beach will go with it. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

Feel bad for this place which is a Manhattan Beach institution. Salt n Straw opened across the street and they have consistent lines out the door while this place is pretty dead. Here's an idea... maybe not have the same prices? seriously? The ice cream is so blah and they have no lines and charging the same as Salt n Straw. Head scratcher. read more

A sweet-lovers dream! Manhattan Beach Creamery is located right near the pier and was perfect after a day at the beach. We sampled a few of the ice cream flavors, and I got the chocolate fudge brownie + mint oreo (classic flavors!) on a cone. Very nostalgic and fun to step into a store like this one! Ofc there are other gelato and ice cream stops in MB, but MB Creamery is special and brings back childhood memories! read more

One of my favorite places and a must stop shop when I'm in Manhattan beach. FROZEN BANANAS. Hands down don't know anywhere that makes better frozen bananas. This menu item alone deserves 5 stars. Every theme park I go to - I always get their frozen bananas... but once I found this location , never again did I purchase a frozen banana anywhere else but there. They have the BEST. First of all- their bananas are frozen (so I do not recommend this to people with sensitive and poor dentures)... second their banana to chocolate ratio is PERfect!! It's like a whole Chuck of chocolate for every bite. And plus there are options other than peanuts. For my peanut allergy friends who can never eat a frozen banana because they always automatically come with peanuts - these can come with almonds or sprinkles or even just plain chocolate. I always order Frozen banana - dark chocolate with almonds Everything else seems amazing but I'm just going to post on how much I love this place for their frozen bananas. DONE. read more

This after the beach was so needed and good! I got the butter pecan flavor and it was so yummy It is so cute inside too!

Oh boy..a playground of sweets and treats that triggers your senses and makes you want it all. there's no way you're walking out empty handed! Opted for the Dubai ice cream waffle cone filled with two scoops of ice cream. it was really hard to resist all the frozen cheesecake options, Carmel apples, chocolate filled concoction and ice cream cookie sandwiches but had to pick. Friendly and kind staff who offered me to have samples of the ice cream flavors before deciding. Beach vibes make this a go to spot with a few tables outside to enjoy a special treat. read more

A crazy selection of everything you can imagine! What looks like a little corner ice cream shop is surprisingly so much more! First of all, I love their fall/Halloween decor. It's adorable and makes going there feel so seasonal! They have a wide range of goodies - ice cream, froyo, frozen bananas, cheesecake bars, caramel apples, crepes, chocolates, and candies that look like they came from the 90s. A really fun store to check out to satisfy your sweet tooth! read more

I feel as if this place has fallen a bit over the years and it's not the same as it used to be. Things just don't taste as fresh and the service isn't as good. It is still very festive and the Decour, and has a wide variety of options, the ice cream used to taste very homemade and fresh but this time it was it just very freezer like if that makes sense. I got a strawberry cheesecake with mocha almond fudge add my sister god strawberry cheesecake, and butter, pecan, and my friend God, the bacon ice cream... Which she loved. We were having a little bit of a disconnect with the workers and they gave my sister the wrong ice cream and try to fix it by taking back her cone and throwing another scoop on top. that created a very messy, cone And to be honest it was very unsanitary. I'm giving three stars because they are a lot of options and my mom and my friend love their ice cream. But 2/4 is just 50-50 satisfaction. I am not sure if I will be back but I do think perhaps others would like it read more
